Victorian German Tin Case Mantel Clock by H A C
This Victorian mantel clock is a German tin case example by H A C, offered with a removable brass desk clock. The arched case has a pointed crest and a dark-edged front with fan-shaped gilt inlays at the top and lower corners. A cream dial with black Roman numerals sits within a brass bezel and a dark surround, and an oval panel below it is decorated with a gilt shell motif on a green ground. The rear of the case is open, showing a circular aperture, and the separate brass desk clock has a ring handle and a cream Roman dial matching the mantel clock.
Condition and Collector Interest
The case shows age-related wear, including marks and scuffs to the dark-stained finish along the edges and surface. The removable brass desk clock is presented separately from the case, so buyers should consider the two pieces individually when assessing the lot. The combination of the arched tin case, the shell and fan decoration and the detachable desk clock may appeal to collectors of Victorian clocks and German tin case timepieces. Prospective bidders are encouraged to inspect the lot in person or request further information before bidding.
